1t is worth any journalists while to study
a speciality. Journalism is growing pro-
fession. 1t is better paid than it was ten
years ago and good men will earn more
and be in better demand five years hence.
New newspapers, a wide range of topics and
the growing desire for all that is new and
that makes the world go, are to increase this
demand AS journalism develops it becomes
more like other professions. Time was when
a physician ''doctOrei" all diseases, sawed
off limbs, pulled teeth, probed ears and
attacked all imperfections Of the human body
with equal confidence. And not long age
lawyers were supposed to know every phase
of the international as well as police cour;

wills, settle boundary disputes, smash titles
and grapple any possible topic that might
get into court. But i'll this years, lSS6. the

CHICAGO. Jan p This city has now
commission Of experts at work seeking the
best solution of an engineering problem quite
unique and interesting In her environments
Chicago presents some features altogether un-
known in any other large city in the world.
One dav last autumn stood with a visitor to
the city upon one of the many bridges span
ming the Chicago river, whose course lies.
with its two diverging branches, directly
through the centre of the town My friend
WAS struck with the slight elevation Of the
street surfaces above the water level
why" said he, "'tis but six or seven feet
from the street down to the water. Is that
true of the general level of the placer
1t is" | replied. And. moreover this
level of the ground is largely artificial. Fifty
years ago the land upon which Chicago has
since risen was no more than three or four
feet above the water. 1t was in some places
a swamp; in others. low, fiat, wet prairie.
After thousands Of buildings We're put up
the citizens saw that they were too low down
in the mud, and that something would have
to be done So they went to work and raised
their buildings five or six feet, and in some
cases ten feet, all around. Great brick blocks
and hotels were thus raisei, no portion OF the
suspended on account Of the raising and no
injury being done the structures. Under one
great building there were placed no less than
500 jackscrews and for each jackscrew there
WAS man Whenever the foreman fired a
pistol each of the 500 men gave twist on his
screw, and in this way the whole mass weigh
ing many thousands Of tons, was lifted
as easily and uniformly a steam
crane hoists a building stone Before
many Of the buildings were raised, the streets
in front OF them were filled up to the new
grade, causing the first stories to be little bet
ter than easements; and it was the peculiar
appearance of these buildings that led one of
those wise Englishmen. who used TO spend a
few days looking at this country for the pur-
pose of writing book about it, to send word
back 10 England that man would be foolish
to invest any Of his money in Chicago real
